One Time Thing

Toxicity

Emma's POV

I woke up to my alarm clock buzzing. I jumped up immediately. If I wasn't ready in 15 minutes Neal would shout at me. I hate it when he shouts. I don't feel comfortable being in a relationship with him. He disapproves every single friend of mine. I'm fact, he stopped me from seeing my best friend Ashley. She was once pregnant and nobody thought she was ready. But I believed in her. And then Neal became toxic and made me promise to never speak to her. If course, I didn't listen. I would text her occasionally. Although, I never referred to get as Ashley, and I had her contact saved as BFF, so that Neal didn't know it was her. He scrolled though my phone a lot. It's now 7:10 I have 5 minutes for makeup. I never do too much as I look rediculous. But I always put on some mascara.

I finish up and run downstairs.
"Your just in time" Neal says in a stern voice as be sets down cereal on the table. I sit Infront of it and start to eat. I just wanted to be at work as soon as I could.

Killian's POV

I was sat down eating some cereal. I wanted to get out before Milah woke up. She didn't work, so she always sleeps in. I finish eating and stand up. I rush over to the door and put on my jacket, I grab my keys and my satchel and head over to the door.
"You weren't going to say hello" Milah says sternly as she walks down the stairs.
"You were asleep. Didn't want to wake you." I lie
"Yes, but your shift doesn't start until 8, and it's only 7:15. My guess, is your avoiding me." She says getting angry "do you want me to get angry?" I go cold. I know how bad she is when she is mad
"Stay for another 15?" She asks. "Please?" She adds.
"Of course. Anything for you hunny bun" I say, mentally throwing up. I hate using that term. I don't love her. She is too toxic. She walks over to me and she traces her finger down my bicep.
"I'm glad your staying" she breathes into my ear. She grabs the back of my head and pulls me into a passionate kiss. Ugh. This is just... Weird... Just then my phone went off
"Hang on" I say as I walk over to my phone
"Hey, Emma? What's up?" I ask
"My car broke down, do you mind giving me a lift" she asks
"Of course, I'll be right over" I say, and hang up the line.
"Going to go pick up Emma, get car broke down and needs a lift to work" I say to Milah as I head towards the door. I walk outside to my car and jump in. Thank goodness for Emma's car.

Emma's POV

I was stood outside waiting when Killian's car pulled up.
"Heard you called a cab?" He says as he rolls down the window. "Hop in" he says as he rolls it back up. I jump in the car.
"Hello, Jones" I say as I close the door
"Hello, Swan" he replies "and thanks for saving me from Milah." He adds, thankfully.
"If she's that bad, you can pick me up every morning" I suggest looking over to him
"I could. But Milah would probably muster up that I'm cheating, then she'd Kill you, and Neal would kill me" he replies
"Fair point" we sat in silence for a while.
"Wanna hang out at the pub after our shift?" I suggest
"Sure thing, Swan, if it gets me away from Milah and I get to hang out with you, of course I will" he says as we pull up outside work. "It appears we have arrived at your destination" he says in his best taxi driver voice.
"Ok, stop now" I chuckle. As I walk inside of the building.

Killian's POV

We walked out of the office and hopped into the car. And I drove off. Emma was silent.
"You alright, Swan?" I ask her. She looks over at me and frowns.
"Everyday, after work... Neal... He tries to get me into bed with him... He wants me to make him another kid... I can't... Henry is enough!" She says starting to cry. "He gets mad every time I say no... He hits me..." She pulls up her sleeve to show that get arm is covered in bruises.
"I... I don't know what to do!" She says as she starts to cry. I pull over, and hug her. She doesn't deserve this.
"Milah. She's just like him. She wants to start a family. I'm just not ready for it. She yells, at me, each time, so loud I feel I may just go deaf." I say as I hold her in my arms. I love her warmth. God! I love her ! I love how smart she is, how beautiful she is... I love her smile.
"Look. Earlier, you said you'd come to the pub with me. I'll take you home, so you can get out of your work clothes. If anything happens... Call me. I'll come help you" I say as I look into her beautiful green eyes. I start to drive again. I glance back at her and I see her smiling.

As I pull up outside her house, I hug her.
"It's 5:15 now. I'll come pick you up at 6, ok?" I say to her. She nods and gets out. She waves as she walks off in the house. I get into gear and drive off.

Emma's POV

I walk inside and see Neal sat on the couch, starting straight at me. He is wearing nothing but boxers. The lights are out and there is a single candle on the table.
"Ready for that child yet?" He asks in his best seductive voice.
"Not today, but before you hit me, it's because I don't have time. I'm headed out to the pub to meet a friend of mine." I say worriedly
"Which friend? Better not be that Ashley!" He asks
"No no, it's Jackie! You know, from the office?" I say, knowing she is the only friend of mine he likes.
"Of course. Go ahead, I like that girl." He says as he puts out the candle. And turns on the lamp next to him. I head upstairs to my room. I get out my pink dress. Gosh I haven't worn this since... High school prom... Back then Neal was nice. He cared for nothing other than my happiness. Now... Now all he cares about is his. No. I won't wear this dress. Neal will know something is up. I put the dress back and pull out my blue one. I put it on and grab my heels and put them on. I then check the clock. 5:30. I probably should meet Killian somewhere else, since he told me he'd pick me up from here. I pick up the phone and text him saying to get me from the coffee shop from across the street. He says he is on his way. I walk downstairs
"I'll be back at 9ish" I say to Neal as I walk out the door. I walk down the street and head inside of the coffee shop. It's 5:50. He should be here soon. Then, he walks through the door. My jaw drops. He looks so handsome! He is wearing a black leather jacket, and a formal white blouse. He is also wearing black skinny jeans.
"Swan" he says as he pulls me into a hug.
"Come, let's go to the pub" he says as he pulls me out and drives me to the pub.

Killian's POV

We're sat at the bar.
"Gosh, I want something strooong!" She says
"Rum. Rum is my favourite, strong and alcoholic." I say
"Well then. We'll have 2 rums" she says turning to the bartender.
"I love this. Can't stand being at home with Milah. No, it's awful." I say looking at Emma's beautiful eyes. She blushes and turns away. The bartender passes 2 glasses of rum over to us. We clink our glasses and down the rum.

It's only an hour later, and we're already super drunk.

😈 Imma end this on a cliffhanger! Though I love this, so imma probably just... Make another part right away, lmao.
